Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus for implementing flow control with reduced buffer usage for network devices. In response to detection of flow control events, transmission of a data unit or segment such as an Ethernet frame is preempted in favor of a flow control message, resulting in aborting transmission of the frame. Data corresponding to the entirety of the frame is buffered at the transmitting station until the frame has been transmitted (or after a delay), enabling retransmission of the aborted frame. Preemption of frames in favor of flow control messages results in earlier responses to flow control events, enabling the size of buffers to be reduced.
